User reviews
This addon is great and works exactly as advertised but it uses Manifest2, which is deprecated and will be blocked by Vivaldi browser in 2024 and other browsers soon too. Developer must update to a newer manifest format or this addon will die soon.

Surprisingly useful for getting a page to look the way you want - useful for screenshots as well as actual printing to paper. For example: making superfluous page elements disappear so you can print a recipe with larger font and still fit on a single page or etc.
